1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.

i've only had it for a full day so i can't really comment. i had .114 hybrid v1 and i liked it at first but over time it got kind of crappy. i like that this os is new and pretty stable but not a hybrid.

in all my devices (BES4.6 sp3 server) we have a secondary email set up for disaster recovery (johnsmith@att.blackberry.net) for example. I can look at each device and pull off the cell phone, the PIN, etc but i can't seem to extract the secondary email address. I manually enter it for 200 users to a public folder which can cause errors(typing) or errors when devices switch(the address follows the device). Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am using MSDE database
